Infectious Bacteria Detection

Human Procalcitonin Assay

DescriptionIn recent years, invasive diagnostic procedures, bacterial antibiotic resistance, severe trauma, organ transplant and chemotherapy patients are becoming more common than ever. These factors have led to a rising rate in hospital infections, sepsis, septic shock and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). Procalcitonin (PCT) is a 13kD glycoprotein that has an in vivo half-life of 25-30 hours. It serves as an important index for the detection of infectious diseases.
